Packaging For Beverages: Beverage Technology Soegijapranata Catholic University

Beverage packaging options include glass and plastic bottles as well as cans. Glass bottles are commonly used for wines due to their ability to store wine for years without spoiling. Plastic bottle materials like PET are lightweight, strong, and suitable for both carbonated and non-carbonated drinks. Multilayer packaging combines materials like paper, plastic, and aluminum foil to create customized packaging that uses fewer resources. Beverage manufacturers use quality assurance systems like machine vision to inspect packages and maintain consistency during high-speed production.

PACKAGING FOR BEVERAGES

BEVERAGE TECHNOLOGY
SOEGIJAPRANATA CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY
BOTTLES

• Materials : Glass, Plastics


• Glass bottles :
• Advantages and disadvantages ??
• For single-serve beverages : 500ml or less
• Products : carbonated soft drink , beer or other alcoholic beverage,
premium products
• Glass bottles give a much greater impression of size than plastic
bottles of the same volume; a 750ml glass bottle looks the same size
as a 1 litre plastic one.
GLASS BOTTLE FOR WINE

• Usually thin, elongated bottle


• Glass bottle allows wine to stored for years without spoiling
• Cork stopper  crucial in storing wine. Cork is made from the bark of oak, fibrous ith
tiny air cells. 60% of cell wall in cork is suberin, waxy substance similar to cutin  water
resistant and long-lived.
• Need to be airtight with high quality bark to prevent “cork taint” from mold/bacteria.
• Wine is stored on their sides, so the wine will wet the cork, preventing the cork from
shrinking and admitting air.
• To prevent cork taint, many used metal or plastic stopper now.
PLASTIC BOTTLE

• Common materials : PET, PVC, HDPE


• Advantages and disadvantages?
• Plastic bottles for non-carbonated drinks will almost inevitably have ribs
to add strength, needed for withstanding the vacuum on many filling
machines and for resisting the lateral forces experienced within the pack
and during transit.
• Containers for carbonated drinks will invariably be circular in cross-
section, as the pressure forces any shape out.
PVC AND HDPE BOTTLE

• Both not suitable for carbonated softdrink.


• Polyethylene has poor oxygen barrier properties
• Opacity is bigger than the PET
• PVC is brittle and break on impact
• Example of products :
• PVC :
• HDPE :
PET BOTTLE

• PET has three physical forms, amorphous, orientated and crystalline.


• Bottles can be light, strong and impact resistant, and can be made
temperature stable by suitable heat treatment.
• PET bottles are always made using the injection stretch blow technique
with an injection moulded preform.
• PET is suitable both for carbonated and noncarbonated products.
• PET crystals are too small to be visible, therefore the bottle has a good
clarity
It should be borne in mind that a diversification of plastics will
make recycling much more difficult, so established materials
should be specified and multilayer structures avoided whenever
possible.
CANS

• Cans can be manufactured and filled quickly, are highly mobile on filling
lines, strong and solid, and will pack into a variety of secondary packaging
with relative ease.
• Suitable for carbonated drinks  pressure helps the can to ge rigid and
solid
• Can be used for aseptic filling  cans can be pasteurized
• The can also provides an excellent opportunity to advertise the contents
 whole surface area capable of being printed
MULTILAYER PACKAGING

• By combining different materials, it is possible to create “customised”


protective packaging with the least possible material consumption, above
all for foodstuffs.
• The most common combination is paper, plastic and aluminium foil.
• These materials are all good on their own, but the combination is even
better. The composite materials are lighter and less resource-consuming
than one single material with the same properties. Thus, the amount of
waste is reduced.

QUALITY ASSURANCE IN BEVERAGE
MANUFACTURERS
• The cost of defective products can be high: a recall is expensive, and the damage
to brand integrity can be catastrophic.
• In the competitive beverage market, consistent product presentation keeps
customers from abandoning the brand.
• The key to retaining customers is consistency—consumers will not continue to
buy products if the fill levels vary from bottle to bottle, or the labels are sloppily
applied.
• In order to meet the standards while still maintaining rapid production speeds,
many beverage use machine vision inspection as the best method to maintain
package quality.
QUALITY ASSURANCE IN BEVERAGE
MANUFACTURERS
• For many years  manual
• As production rate increases dramatically  no longer efficient
• Manual inspection methods are cost-prohibitive, especially in Asian markets where the
cost of labor has increased dramatically in the last year.
• As a result, beverage manufacturers are turning toward automated vision inspection
programs for their quality assurance needs.
• Automated vision inspection systems can perform high-speed, accurate inspections of
beverage containers for a fraction of the cost of maintaining a manual inspection program.
QUALITY ASSURANCE IN BEVERAGE
MANUFACTURERS
• Beverage manufacturers who choose to install a vision inspection system
on their production line have three options when implementing the
system:
• The Do-it-yourself Method
• Systems Integrator
• Vision Inspection Solution Provider
QUALITY ASSURANCE IN BEVERAGE
MANUFACTURERS
• For beverage manufacturers, there are several points along the production
process where a vision inspection system can be installed.
• Empty bottles : chipped tops, cracks in the surface and thread placement
• Filled and capped bottles : fill levels, cap position for potential leakage,
tamper-band integrity
• Product presentation : label position, print and label quality
• Beverage cases : ensuring each case is filled with the right amount of the
correct beverage, inspects the case itself for defects, open flaps and proper
labeling.
